Anxiety
Mary Rose Dias
Therapist, MSc, BA, EMCC Senior Practitioner, Certified iRest Meditation Teacher
When anxiety or fear is present our brain is sending us a message to say "I am not safe" and our sympathetic nervous system (flight or fight response) is activated. Being in this state is a lot for our central nervous system to manage. To support in recovery from anxiety or fear I introduce tools to clients to soothe the central nervous system and help them feel safe in their bodies and in their minds. I remind clients that all emotions, feelings and thoughts are simply sensations and are not their reality. I also use mindfulness with clients which is an empowering way to safely and gently meet and interact with sensations without letting the sensation consume, control or limit them

Irene Valis
Counsellor/Therapist, Gestalt Psychotherapist, PACFA Certified Counsellor, Life Coach
I know first hand how anxiety or unprocessed fears can show up in our body and our mind - overthinking, imaging worst-case scenarios, heart racing. It can feel like sensations in our body are turned up full volume and as if everything else feels very far away and out of reach; it can be quite a destabilising and isolating experience. But it doesn´t have to be.
Through support and training, I have learned to regulate and resource myself in times of worry and panic, to the point that I am hardly ever activated, and when I am, I know how to ride the wave with confidence and ease.
I now pass on these practices with the women I serve who experience great relief from being able to brave the elements when their anxiety storm arises, empowering them to the point that the frequency, duration and intensity significantly reduces and they finally feel a sense of peace and calm within themselves again.

Uri Bookman
Counsellor/Therapist, PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), Relationship & Couples Counsellor, Certified Coach
As a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), I work with thoughtful, capable adults who may understand their anxiety intellectually yet still find themselves reacting when triggered. Together, we look beneath the anxiety to understand the patterns, triggers and underlying dynamics driving it. Rather than only managing symptoms, the work develops greater awareness and capacity to respond differently, creating more clarity, choice and inner space.

Through IFS, we'll explore the protective parts of you that create anxiety, understanding their positive intentions while helping you develop Self-leadership to soothe your nervous system. The somatic elements help you recognise how anxiety lives in your body and develop embodied tools for regulation.
